U. 5. ART PROJECT DUE TOBEREVIVED Accomplishments of First Venture Lauded as Hop- kins Reveals Plan. The Public Works of Art Project, under which 3,749 unemployed artists turned out thousands of murals, paint- ings and etchings, to adorn public buildings throughout the country, has completed its course. So successful was the venture, in the opinion of Harry L. Hopkins, that the present works progress adminis- trator is contemplating conducting similar work under the new $4,000,- 000,000 works program this year. All the 15,663 original works of art, some of which drew criticism when ex- hibited and others lavish praise, are now in the hands of the ultimate con- sumer, Hopkins announced yesterday. In wages, the huge art collection cost the Government $1,184,748 during the Winter of 1933-4, under the former civil works program. In addition to the originals, thou- sands of prints have been made. This phase of the project has just been| completed by the distribution of a fin/ | group of 2,528 etchings, lithographs and wood-block prints to universities, high schools, museums and libraries. All but the five New England States, which previously had shared largely in distributions, received a portion of the last remaining prints. Art Exhibited Here. The works of art products have been exhibited from time to time at the White House, Corcoran Art Gal- lery, the Senate and House Office Buildings and the various Federal buildings in Washington. Practically all the departmental buildings have received generous numbers of the paintings to embellish their walls per- manently. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury L. W. Robert, jr., who headed the ad- ministrative organizatvion in providing work for the unemployed artists, yes- | terday submitted his report to Hop- kins. He said the works of art would remain in public buildings through- out the country, as permanent records of the Federal Government's efforts to | provide work and at the same time produce tangible, socially useful re- sults. The project, Robert reported, “was born * * * at exactly the right psy- chological moment. The American artist had just gone through a period of eclecticism, but a few years be- fore the beginning of the project he turned his mind away from theorizing for its own sake toward the life and people of his own country. “Remarkable Record.” “When the project started, the new nationalistic movement in our art| was already at its height. For this| reason, however, time may evaluate the work done as art, we can already | say without rashness that the work | done comprises a remarkable ‘Ameri- | can’ record. “Paintings and sculpture reflecting contemporary ~European influences were the rare exception in our na- tional exhibition. Had the exhibition been held 10 years ago they would | have been the rule. “We know, then, that the public works of art project has made a truly native record and we can safely leave the rest of the estimate to the prejudice-cooling processes of time.” Only about 10 per cent of the 15.- 000 works of art were sent to Wash- ington for distribution. More than 2,500 of the prints made from originals were framed for the offices of prominent Government offi- cials in the National Capital and as many more distributed among edu- cational institutions throughout the country. CARNIVAL ARRANGED Amateur Night a Feature of Our| Lady of Victory Church. With addition of an amateur night, arrangements are complete for the | carnival of Our Lady of Victory Church, Conduit and Reservoir roads, it is announced by Dr. Raymond V. | Frayer, chairman of special attrac- | tions. The carnival, which opens to- | morrow at 7:30 p.m., will last a week. | Entrants for the amateur night are required to register with Joe Brown, director and supervisor of Joe Brown's Radio Kiddies, at 1210 G street, by ‘Thursday night.

PROBERS BELITTLE SOCIALIST STRIFE Board Reports New York Differ- ences Insufficient to Cause Crisis. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, July 13.—The Board of Inquiry appointed by the National Committee of the Soclalist Party to investigate the New York State situa- tion reported tonight “there is no difference of opinion sufficiently fun- | damental to justify either faction in | precipitating a crisis.” The report of the board was pub- licized by the National Committee at the outset of a hearing to determine whether the charter cof the New York City and State organizations shall be revoked. The board—composed of William Quick of Milwaukee, Roy Burt of Chi- cago and Arnold Freese of Norwalk, Conn.—set forth the following 1. To all intents and purposes, the Young People’s Socialist League of the City of New York has been unjustly expelled and is prevented from func- tioning. This action was “ill advised.” 2. The New York City organization denied democratic procedure, and re- fused to admit qualified Y. P. S. L. members into the paity. The State Executive Committee tuok no steps “to correct these abuses.” 3. The New York State and city| organizations have taken no action | “to stop attacks upon party members and the National Conunittee in either | the party press or the vapitalist press.” These attacks—which have been di- rected at Norman Thomas and other anti “old guard” ieaders—are “so serious that drastic action to stop them must be taken.” 4. The New Leader, weekly organ | of the “old guard” organization, is “definitely & partisan and faction publication.” The paper also has given “direct encouragement of ses- sion” by the right wing New York groups. The bitterness between the fac- tions, long smouldering, was brought to the climax by the revolutionary declaration of principles adopted at the Detroit national convention last year. — SESSION FIVE YEARS OFF Reservations Made Here for Inter- national Geneva Association.
